This weekend I spent a decent amount of time looking through old photos and watching old videos. After all, that's what I do when I'm sad....reminisce about happier times! Fortunately, I have a LOT of old photos and videos on my external hard drive so I stayed entertained for quite a while.
A lot of these photos will likely mean nothing to you....but in some way, shape, or form, they made me smile...and many times they made me laugh. And really, all things considered, that felt like a major victory this weekend.

I broke my thumb in a dancing contest this weekend. I actually thought of you because you enjoyed my dancing in China.
ReplyDelete@Mom - David was scared to ride the elephant to begin with...and then it sneezed on him. i laughed...he did not.
ReplyDelete@3D - how in the world did you break your THUMB? Also, I found a hysterical video of you and Dan grooving at JZ Club - if you don't have it, I'll have to find a way to get it to you....
